A very remarkable piece with a never seen decoration. I wonder what purpose this carbine with a rosewood stock must have been made for. Thanks for showing.

Sorry for answering once more and not beeing Kubur or Rick:
I think that this mousketoon has no connections to English weapons at all and has been made in India. Neither the stock nor the barrel and the mountings have a conformity to British firearms during the flintlock aera. corrado26 |

Hi,
It's too far from Kubur's expertise. Kubur stays on the Mediterranean shores... |
